Where the path cuts straight up a gulley which should, but doesn't always, have a stream running along the bottom, watch for the point where you have to cross a field boundary over a stile. Just hidden from view by trees and bushes, and right by the path, is White Well, a small pool a few feet across scattered with various lumps of stone.
Nothing is known about this site: it appears on the Ordnance map, but that's it. I did spot a stone a few feet away which looks strangely regular, as though is was worked and part of a pillar - but it stretches credulity to imagine there was any structure at this well in such a remote location.
